La piscine était un peu plus froide que la fois précédente , donc en période de canicule ce fut un peu compliqué a gérer niveau écart de température.

Excellent séjour : je reviendrai sans aucun doute.
Pros:

Personnel sympathique et compétent.
Chambre petite mais bien agencée et bien décorée. Climatisation silencieuse .
Très bonne insonorisation. Je n ai pas testé le petit déjeuner mais on m a donné gratuitement un plateau avec une théière et du thé. Une supérette est juste en face de l hôtel. Bien pratique.
Excellente situation :
Le musée des Beaux-arts est à deux pas. Nombreux commerces et restaurants. Quartier très agréable.

Cons:

L accès à la piscine est un peu difficile car le plafond est bas, mais ce n est qu un détail.

It is a nice hotel in the center of Lyon, near everything, but not Grand as one would expect.
Pros:

We liked the location and the staff.

Cons:

The hotel itself was a bit tired. The interior could do with a renovation. Breakfast was average. The most disappointing was the room size and the pool area. It was not big enough to swim in properly, dark and cramped. No changing rooms, next to breakfast tables.
